WADA ! Oh what big teeth you have !

Last week WADA elected a New President ! This week we find that UNPLEASANT
News will be delivered to hundreds of thletes ! Seems that " PED Testing methods " have been even more enhanced , in recent times ?

Whilst Tennis Stars are screeming in the Media about having the " Bio Passport " imposed on them , thus some already being given 2 year Holidays , some of the Athletes nearing the end of the 8 year Statute of Limitations , will read the following with DISMAY :

Just seen Usain Bolt , on the TV talking about his Autobiography , will he be worried about these developments ? His problem is that his Country's Anti Doping Agency , has a questioable history . Throw enough mud and some will stick ? Bearing in mind that about 6 of his Discipline Colleagues , were suspended in the recent times and soon we will have a Media Feeding Frenzy , even if the Guy is as clean as he claims ?

Testing 2006 Winter Olympians at Torino produced only one recorded result , a Russian Biathlete . In 2010 some retesting was done with negative results , but now more are being subjected to the new tests . With these tests revealing several Athletes at the Moscow World Championship Event in August 2013 , 2 of whom have already been named , but others to be revealed , it is an odds on certainty that there are Winter Olympians of 2006 Torino awaiting their post ?

Retesting of Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics has been done in 2012 , with 5 Athletes being detected . Guess this quote will unsettle a few of the Beijing Athletes :

  "  "We can go back to Beijing before 2016," Ljungqvist said. "We may do that. We haven't decided yet. We will do it as the eight-year time approaches."

Problem that continues to exist is that a determined Doper , will reap the Glory of the Podium and the Financial Rewards attendant to that , meanwhile , the CLEAN Athlete will be overlooked and may even leave the Sport , through financial hardship , if not dissolusionment with not being able to reveal their knowledge ?

TIME that there was a MORE EFFECTIVE " whisteblowing system " in place , perhaps with Financial Incentives " to ensure that " Determined Dopers " know that they are no longer immune , and will not have the opportunity to enjoy their UNWARRANTED benefits , for years , as is currently the situation .

WADA has been shown to be receiving a smaller Budget in coming years , BUT , with the fact that , Hundreds of recent tests are reported to be " Negatives " ,  is it not  time that their Budgets , were severely enhanced ?

MORE TESTS , MORE RESULTS ?  

I for one , want to see clean Sport !

There are some that are helping WADA in their fight for CLEAN SPORT !  Skins chairman , Jaimie Fuller , is one such . Using his company resources he has taken the fight to UCI , successfully causing the Aigle Tag Team Duo , to withdraw from their unfounded Legal Action against Paul Kimmage , who Outed Lance Armstrong . 

In recent months together with Ben Johnson , he made a World Trip highlighting Doping before visiting the IOC HQ in Lausanne . Ben Johnson was caught Doping in Seoul , his life was changed by that event . His Celebrity and life since should serve as a warning to ANY OTHER contenplating PED use as a way to enhance their Career ?

Another point reflecting on :

  "  Why does the degree of Doping/ PED use matter? I always hear rape is rape. If nice guy doped and bad guy doped, well dope is dope. Why treat them differently?"

As regards the USADA Reasoned Decision , which saw off , an athlete that seemingly avoided

detection , UCI Management in tzhe period 1999 & 2001 , intervened to " Hein & co`s benefit . This is a common observation on his fully deserved Life Time Ban :

  "  Like bribery, coersion, money laundering, drug dealing/supply, witness intimidation, perjury, libel, fraud and corrupt business practices 

Add all that into the mix and the perp in question deserves slightly different treatment to somebody who takes the odd shot of EPO every now and then don't you think? "

DOPING pays in the Short Term , BUT WADA , will now ensure that the DOPER , takes a serious knock in the FUTURE !

WADA ! Oh what big teeth you have !

UCI.org , disorganised ?

Yes , there is evidence that “ UCI “ wish they were organised ! Hilarious to think that phat could think an old fashioned “ Hot Line “ to report “ Dopers “ was an innovation ! Floundering around , now that he has had his head handed to him , anything other than staying stumm  appeals to him as a way out of the corner he has backed himself into .

Wonder if phat ever stops to think about , what will come of , the things that he has proposed recently ? It takes little effort to seek advice , from those that sit with him on the UCI Management Committee , but then he perhaps regards asking for , advice as a sign of weakness ?

Mike Ashenden does not mince words , when commenting to velonation.com , on the proposed “ hot line “ recently , in the following article :

http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/13286/Ashenden-says-UCI-run-anti-doping-hotline-would-lack-credibility.aspx#ixzz2CBoO4U00

 “ For the UCI to urge riders to come forward with info. Now is like a fox with feathers in it’s mouth urging the next chicken to come down off it’s roost “.

When the UCI tried to muzzle him , earlier this year , he decided to resign . Since then he has been outspoken on a whole range of matters and the UCI must be ruing the day they thought to stifle his voice ? Read a whole raft of articles that have brought to light , matters which UCI would prefer “ Jo Public “ to be unaware .

Skins , the Company , have taken UCI to court , in an action to collect US$2M , that they plan to reinvest in “ Clean Cycling Sport “! They have gone further by asking the public to add any information that will strengthen their action . Link to the article :

Jamie Fuller in this latest item says as follows :

“ I would love to hear from anyone , etc ( my computer is not copying and pasting as it should )!

Toto has posted another of his cartoons :

Lance was the victim of the British sense of humour on the 5th November , when some Kentish people celebrated Guy Fawkes night with his effigy :















Was he trying to get his own back when he posted a tweet with an attached photo ?

Some wag managed to add to the hilarity with :

Just a few of the many floating !
